The four girls sat on the ground and did not go until they rested.

In the afternoon, the four girls did not listen to the assignment of the acting captain, took the sickle, and harvested the soybeans with the strong laborers of the yaks.

In any case, the four girls have made up their minds, and she will be where she is, except for going home to eat and sleeping in the production team.

In the evening, Yakzi and Xiaomei's family went to Dongshan Orchard to make an appointment, but they didn't go far before they were discovered by the four girls, who blocked the intersection and protested silently to Yakzi.

"Zhao Nan, my grandfather invited us to dinner tonight, let's go, come with us." Xiaomei stepped forward to pull the four girls and invited her to join her.

"Go ahead, I'm not going." The fourth girl dodged to the side, "You are a family, and you didn't say to invite him, what's the matter with him?" Brag unblushingly. ”

When the four girls said about him, they were referring to the yakzi, who deliberately avoided the four girls at this time.

"Zhao Nan, don't say that, Brother Yakzi is grandpa's celebrity, he is hand-picked by grandpa's thousands of instructions, we can't go, he can't go."

Xiaomei explained to the four girls that the implication was that there was an element of the four girls.

"Humph! Everywhere you look. The four girls shook off and had to get out of the way.

Teacher Ye Kun and Xiaomei's mother saw that it was not easy to say anything in front of the yak, but they were worried about the yakzi and Xiaomei in their hearts.

Yakzi and Xiaomei's family came to Dongshan Orchard, and Xiaomei's grandmother Ma Xiaolan welcomed Xiaomei's family into the yard.

The courtyard was very lively, and tonight, the feast prepared by Old Man Gao was attended by all the staff of the orchard.

A corner of the yard is a gourd stand, and there are small gourds hanging on the shelf, although the gourd seedlings are withered and yellow, they are still full of interest.

Under the gourd shelf were two tables and four benches set together, and the tables were filled with fruits, red sand fruits and mountain red, purple grapes and plums, and pear eggs.

In the small canteen, Chubby Jiang Ming and his daughter-in-law Xinghua, as well as several orchard employees were busy cooking dinner, and the aroma of oil and meat filled the entire yard.

Xinghua took out a stewed wild duck leg and gave it to Xiaomei's younger brother Xiaoguang, who was unceremonious and ate it in a big gulp.

Old man Gao came back with a basket of fish, and when he saw the fish, the old man Gao complained: "Stinky boy, why didn't you come earlier, so I went to catch fish alone and ran away with two." ”

"I'm sorry, grandpa, the production team will have a battle for the autumn harvest, and I will finish work late, I really can't help it, I will make you tired."

"Grandpa, if you are partial and don't talk to us, you will know how to greet Brother Yakzi." Xiaomei blamed her grandfather.

"Whatever I say hello to you, I'm here to eat and wait, the stinky boy can not only do things, but also get things done, I like it." Old man Gao did not hide his attitude, "Go, stinky boy, follow me to see good things." ”

"Something good, let me see it too." Xiaomei came to her grandfather and Yazi.

"You're a girl, you don't understand."

The old man handed a basket of fish to Xiao Fat, and with his hands behind his back, he led Yakzi and Xiaomei into his room.

The old man pointed to the shotgun hanging on the wall and said, "Today you should have a good fortune, I will go out in the morning, in the lower reaches of the reservoir, in the Liumaodianzi, I will use it, and shoot down two mallards, these two ducks are a pair, this is also considered creation, so as not to leave one lonely." ”

Old man Gao showed off his marksmanship, and when Xiaomei heard about it, she said casually: "It's too cruel." ”

"Cruel? It's cruel, don't eat wild duck meat for a while. Old man Gao has his theory, "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the hunter relies on the prey, what is the fuss." ”

Xiaomei was so afraid of her grandfather's theory that she didn't dare to say anything anymore, she was afraid of upsetting her grandfather.

He admires the old man Gao in his heart, not only has heroic feats, but also grows stronger, can use guns, hunting, winemaking, netting fish, go out of the mountain at critical moments, and can also help the public security solve cases.

What kind of life are the members of Xingfutun living? This year, I can't eat bran and swallow vegetables, but this old man, with his own ability, lives a good life, and he is simply living a fairy life.

He thought about having a shotgun, so that he could go up to the mountains to hunt in the winter when he was idle, which could not only improve his life, but also exchange money and increase his economic resources.

However, now he can only think about it, bicycles, shotguns, these things are luxuries that are beyond his reach.

Old man Gao said, let the yakzi see good things, what is a good thing? It's still a mystery.

"Grandpa, what good things did you let Brother Yakzi see? Wouldn't it still be a good bar for you to brew? Xiaomei asked curiously.

"Don't say it, a few days ago, I used the local method to brew a jar of barley wine, it's good to drink, let's drink enough in a while." Old man Gao said, "I let the stinky boy see this is not this, you can't think of it." ”

Old man Gao said as he went to the bottom of the kang cabinet and turned out a long box, this box was a leather shell, very delicate, I don't know what valuable things were inside.

"See, this is it, guess what's inside?" The old man Gao picked up the long box and made a fuss.

"Like the box with suona in our literary and art propaganda team, it's not, the box with suona is not so wide and so long, shouldn't it be the legendary Western trombone?" Xiaomei guessed randomly.

"Guess, I think you look like a Western trombone, stinky boy, what do you say is inside? If you can guess, I'll give it to you, and you can do a few things that are to my liking, and you can be worthy of it. ”

The old man Gao praised the yak a lot, and the few things he pointed out the yak did were to dig sand in exchange for scrap iron; the second is the explosion of the cupola, and he alone took all the responsibility for the members of Xingfutun Society; There are also ghost thieves who have been found out; For Xiaomei, he beat Gao Laosan.

He didn't think he was great, but in the eyes of Old Man Gao, the stinky boy was thoughtful, daring, bloody, and responsible, which fit Old Man Gao's character.

"I don't dare to accept such a valuable gift, let alone what is inside, this box is not an ordinary treasure." Muzi took the long box from Old Man Gao's hand and admired it, the text on it was actually not Chinese, and Muzi didn't know it at all.

Xiaomei and Zou Jie have been together for a long time, and Zou Jie taught her some Russian and knew some Russian. Xiaomei leaned over to the yak and carefully recognized the words on it, but she couldn't recognize it completely, but she had already recognized it as a gun, since it was a gun, it was estimated that it was a shotgun.

Xiaomei was secretly happy in her heart, and whispered in her ear: "You guess it's a shotgun." ”

Yakzi said casually: "Xiaomei told me that there is a shotgun inside." ”

"Stinky girl, how do you know?"

"Grandpa, don't care how I know, do you?" Xiaomei asked, "Does what you just said still count?" If Brother Yakzi guesses it, you give it to him. ”

"You guessed it, and he didn't guess it."

"You're fooling, which of the two of us guesses differently." After Xiaomei said this, her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Feelings: You two will wear a pair of pants now and become a family." Old man Gao said, "Okay, good, that's what I originally meant." ”

The old man Gao said, and opened the long box with the carpenter, which was wrapped in flannel cloth with a pouting shotgun double-barreled shotgun* from the Tula Arsenal of the Soviet Union, which looked eye-catching.

The butt and barrel of the shotgun in the long box are separate and have not yet been assembled.

The old man Gao acted quickly and was skillfully trained, and he installed the shotgun after dividing five by two, and the speed made the man stunned.

"This shotgun was given to me by the old head of the military division, I just asked someone to bring it back to me, I am used to using my shotgun, this one will be given to you, and then I will help you get a gun license and hunting license, from today on, I will accept you as an apprentice, when you have time, I will teach you how to load, how to make a gun, how to hunt, in winter, we will go up the mountain together."

"How can this be, grandpa, I can't afford such a valuable gift." The yaks were a little panicked.

"Who said it was a gift? It's not a gift, it's a token," said the old man, "and in the future, you should be kind to my granddaughter, or I will shoot you with one shot." ”

"Brother Yakzi, grandpa sincerely gave it to you, you just promise to accept it, otherwise grandpa will be angry."

Xiaomei was happy that her grandfather could give her a shotgun, especially what her grandfather said just now: it was not a gift, it was a token, and she realized her grandfather's recognition of the relationship between her and Brother Yakzi.

He didn't dare to say anything, thinking that apprenticeship requires etiquette, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man: "Master is above, and he will be worshiped by his apprentice." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be old-fashioned, pour me a glass of wine on the wine table in a while, and it's an apprentice."

Yakzi stood up, very grateful in his heart, at this time, Yakzi and Old Man Gao had a feeling of forgetfulness.

The shotgun is equipped with twenty shots with a shot clip that can be straddled diagonally over the shoulder, as well as a pair of armed straps.

At this time, the old man Gao was fully armed, holding a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with two shotguns, to demonstrate for the yak.

"Let's go out for an interview."

Yakzi and Xiaomei followed Old Man Gao to the outside of the house, and everyone followed him out of the courtyard.

It was not yet dark, and on a big willow tree not far away, countless sparrows were chirping, and the old man was holding a shotgun and instructed the sparrows to pick up a stone and throw it at the big willow tree, only to see a group of sparrows flying in shock.

"Phew! Bang! ”

Two gunshots rang out in a row, and the sparrows were seen crackling and falling from the sky.

Xiaoguang and the orchard staff ran forward quickly, and after a while, they picked up more than 20 sparrows.

The old man looked at the shotgun with the smoking barrel of the gun in his mind, and the old man Gao had a smug smile on his face.

Two gunshots rang out, as if they were a salute for today's dinner.

Although it is the Mid-Autumn season, there is no wind outside today, the weather is exceptionally warm, and the dinner is set under the gourd stand.

Some employees hung two lanterns on the gourd stand, and two mugwort ropes were lit in the yard to repel mosquitoes.

"Let's ...... the meal"

Apricot blossoms began to serve: stewed eggplant with catfish, fried small trash fish, stewed mushrooms with wild duck, stewed beans with potatoes, persimmons with sugar, and shredded melon with sauce......

In addition to these high-quality dishes, Xiaopang brought out a large pot of cooked sticky bud rice and sweet potatoes.

The old man Gao took out a jar of barley wine brewed by himself, opened the lid, and the aroma of the wine overflowed.

All the men sat down in turn, and Ma Xiaolan, Xiaomei's mother, Xiaomei and Xinghua did not serve the table.

Old man Gao said: "Come to me, there is not so much bullshit etiquette, and there are no outsiders, today we are all on the table regardless of men and women, and those who can drink are enough to drink, and those who can't drink are open to eat." ”

According to the instructions of the old man Gao, everyone gathered around, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talked and laughed, and was happy, so lively.

When everyone heard that the old man Gao gave him a double-barreled shotgun, and took him as an apprentice, they all envied him and were happy for him.
